While browsing titles on the Heritage website, I came across the following book. I thought it might be an instersting point of research for someone. It's been reduced to £5.95

Summary: Excavations at Jennings Yard, Windsor primarily revealed evidence of substantial medieval buildings within the former suburb of Underore. Remains of three successive masonry buildings – one incorporating an en suite garderobe – spanning the years AD 1150-1600 were recorded, associated with structures and features including a possible moat’ and revetted causeway. Substantial pottery, metalwork, waterlogged leather and woodwork assemblages were recovered. Extensive environmental sampling was undertaken. An unusually early find was made of a rosemary seed (13th / 14th century). A group of eight partially disarticulated horse skeletons was recovered from a narrow ditch. Following abandonment of the medieval buildings the site was used as an orchard during much of the post-medieval period prior to the development of small-scale 19th century industries.
